Yesterday morning, we asked you how Android 4.2 – the bug-ridden latest version of Google’s smartphone and tablet operating system – was treating you. And just like that, Google has released an update for the OS on its Nexus devices, bringing back the missing month of December just in time for, well, December.

Dubbed Android 4.2.1, the update fixes the bug which caused December to completely disappear from the calendar in the people/contacts app. The missing month wasn’t a mission-critical bug, but it was certainly perplexing and made adding end-of-the-year birthdays and anniversaries nigh impossible. Thankfully, the issue has been resolved. If you have a Nexus 4, Nexus 7, or Nexus 10, you’re going to want to download the small update so you can get your 31 days back.

Unfortunately, Android 4.2.1 doesn’t fix any of the operating system’s other bugs, such as battery issues, random reboots, Bluetooth connection problems, and more. With any luck, we’ll be getting a fix for these in the near future as well.

Google announced the Android 4.2 update a month ago and began rolling it out to devices like the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10 a few weeks later. A new version of Jelly Bean, Android 4.2 is a somewhat minor update in the scheme of things, but it adds support for multiple users on tablets – but not on phones – and it includes a number of new features and interface tweaks.

Unfortunately, some users have started to complain about a number of issues, large and small. Auto-brightness is reportedly off, Bluetooth devices constantly lose connection, the month of December is completely absent from the contacts app, and the camera app and lockscreen widgets seem to be very problematic. Worse, battery issues and random reboots are supposedly quite common.

Android Police has done a good job documenting all of the issues, but we want to hear from you. How’s Android 4.2 treating you? Have you experienced any of these issues? And, if so, are they just a minor annoyance or a big deal?
